Thank you Pedro for you presentation showing quite a lot of activity today.
In fact there are possibly four AR's this day as:-
Sunspot regions
Region Number of sunspots ClassMagn.
2816 7 CRO
2818 1 HSX
2819 4 BXO
2820 8 DRO

so it is good to see at least three of those in your captures.

Regards
Terry

Thanks Terry & Mark

I had a small window of about 15min to image the sun. It's getting more active each day

Certainly does show that you have far-more cloud activity than the U.K. at present Pedro, so at least we here in the U.K. are getting some of the clearest-skies around our part of the globe - at present..

Terry
